Barbie was the highest-grossing movie of 2023, and Mattel is looking to capitalize on that popularity with Barbie The Movie: In Concert, a live-to-film concert experience tour that will include a stop at Dos Equis Pavilion in Dallas on Saturday, August 3.

The tour will start in Tampa, Florida, traveling to 37 cities before wrapping up on August 18 in Wantagh, New York. Two Texas cities made the cut on the tour; in addition to Dallas, it will also go to The Woodlands on August 2.

Produced by Overture Global Entertainment, the concert will bring Mattel Film’s first theatrical production to life with live music from The Barbie Land Sinfonietta, a special presentation from Orchestrator and Executive Producer Macy Schmidt’s all-women and majority women-of-color orchestra.

The film will be projected onto a giant LED screen as the Sinfonietta performs the film’s score by Mark Ronson and Andrew Wyatt. Promising a "one-of-a-kind immersive experience," the tour will also feature specialty limited-edition merchandise, photo opportunities, and more.

In addition to the all-women orchestra, Barbie The Movie: In Concert will include a touring road crew consisting of a veteran lineup of all-women technical and production professionals.

Barbie is nominated for eight Oscars at the 96th annual Academy Awards, to be held on Sunday, March 10. Two of those nominations are for Best Song - "I'm Just Ken," sung by Ryan Gosling, and "What Was I Made For?" by Billie Eilish.

Citi cardmembers will have access to presale tickets beginning on March 5 at 10 am through the Citi Entertainment program. Additional presales will run throughout the week ahead of the general on-sale beginning on Friday, March 8 at 10 am via ticketmaster.com.

Massive EVO Entertainment venue will bring movies and bowling to Forney

A major new entertainment destination is coming to Forney: EVO Entertainment has broken ground on an 82,000-square-foot venue that will bring movies, dining, bowling, and games to the fast-growing North Texas city.

According to a release, it's slated to open in fall 2026 in the burgeoning The Village at Gateway development.

The new EVO Entertainment Forney will feature so many attractions, it calls for a bulleted list:

nine theaters, including one IMAX auditorium and two EVX auditoriums
a full-service bar and restaurant
an upper-level lounge area
event and conference spaces
22 bowling lanes
125+ arcade games
rock climbing walls
a multi-level ropes course
bumper cars
laser tag

A January 20 groundbreaking event brought together community leaders, development partners, and local stakeholders to turn the first dirt.

“In Forney, we talk a lot about ‘Forney Family,’ and that spirit truly matters here,” said Forney City Council member Zahnd Schlensker in a statement. “EVO embodies that same sense of family ... This project is about honoring the past while creating a place where new memories will be made for generations to come.”

EVO Entertainment has a connection to Forney: Company CEO Mitchell Roberts' grandfather Lee Roy Mitchell was founder and former chairman of the board of Cinemark and a Forney native who, the release says, "helped shape the modern cinema industry —making EVO’s return to the city a meaningful full-circle moment."

Forney is a fast-growing city in Kaufman County, about 21 miles east of Dallas. It will soon be home to North Texas' newest H-E-B supermarket.

Forney's Kaufman County neighbor of Crandall had the second-hottest U.S. ZIP code for movers at the end of 2025.

The area is one of North Texas' biggest "boomtowns."
